      <image:title>Home - Transparent and versatile approach, open diary and published fees.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mediating with me is efficient. No more worrying about availability since my availability is visible online. Nor what it might cost since the prices are fixed and published. And as well as the standard full day sessions, I do short time limited mediations with bespoke process to keep costs down and, for truly focused negotiations, a blind bid option. The whole approach is designed to minimise your preparation fees, focus on assessing how a settlement might be achieved and, most importantly, cut-out pointless positioning. The result? Settlements achieved with less time-wasting and at reduced cost.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About the mediator - Imran Benson</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a barrister and have been since 2005. Lots of my work is to do with professional negligence claims or costs. I have worked for all the big law firms, insurance companies and institutions in the field and have sued or defended many prominent and well known lawyers, construction, property and financial professionals. I have a roughly 50/50 claimant/defendant practice. Because I specialise in these areas as a litigator and mediator it means I am very familiar with the legal and factual issues which commonly arise and know what the right questions are to put to parties. My practice as a barrister is from Hailsham Chambers, a leading set in my fields of practice. I have been recommended by the directories for many years (some quotes are below). I am still keeping my busy practice as a barrister going, but I started doing this because I thought I could help resolve disputes efficiently. I sit as Deputy Costs Judge at the Senior Courts Costs Office. I have contributed to Friston on Costs (a leading text book on costs). I edit the section on professional negligence in Atkins Court forms (a legal encyclopedia). I have been in a number of important costs and professional negligence cases. I am straightforward and plain speaking. I am a CEDR accredited mediator, the leading mediation organisation in the UK. Because I strongly believe that litigation does not work for most people, I have put a lot of effort into making this mediation process as informative and user friendly as possible, so that those less experienced in it will feel comfortable and prepared and to maximise the chance of an efficiently reached settlement. Any feedback on this site would be gratefully received. My contact details are here.</image:caption>
